Opinion

No. 78133

03-21-2019

ALVIN J. GRIFFIN, III, Appellant, v. AGATA MACINKIEWICH, Respondent.


ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order dismissing appellant's appeal from a justice court decision. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Richard Scotti, Judge.

Review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district courts have final appellate jurisdiction over cases arising in the justice courts. Nev, Const. art. 6, § 6: see also Waugh v. Casazza, 85 Nev. 520, 521, 458 P.2d 359, 360 (1969). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal, and therefore

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.

In light of this decision, this court takes no action in regard to the request for transcripts filed on March 15, 2019, and the amended requests for transcripts filed on March 20 and 21, 2019.
